Great after al these years
Recently I was trying to find it for a project and could not locate it. I had the tape for this when I was a young girl and listened to it all the time. So I got on Amazon and was able to find it through market place. I am really happy. The cd was not much money and it arrived very quickly. It is also in really good condition. I am enjoying listening to the music I loved as a young girl. It brings back lots of great memories.


Skip this CD and buy Go for "Gold" or "Magic."
" BIG hits like "Deeper Than The Night" and "Summer Nights" were totally ignored for this album. Ten good songs, but for the price, fork out a few more bucks and buy a better "greatest hits" collection, like "Magic" or "Gold.


This is her best cd


This greatest hits #2 has all the songs I remember. I know that her greatest hits #1 was not something I was going to like. Especially Magic, Hopelessly Devoted (Grease), You're the one that I want (Grease), Physical, Suddenly (sung with Cliff Richard)and Xanadu. Definitely brings back memories.

Songs on here are:
Heart Attack
Magic
Physical
Hopelessly Devoted To You
Make A Move On Me
A Little More Love
You're The One That I Want
Tied Up
Suddenly
Xanadu.


I Just Wore Out My First Copy of This CD
That's how good it is. And I am here on Amazon to buy it again. And I have an iPod. I don't buy a cd anymore unless it's great. You can see from some of my more recent reviews how mean I can be as a critic and I don't have anything but nice things to say about Olivia and this compilation. This is Olivia at her peak. In an era of crappy singers like Ashlee Simpson and Madonna who have to lip synch live and mediocre singers like Jessica Simpson and Pink, in an era where even the great singers like Kelly Clarkson sing stupid lyrics plucked from the Beverly Hills vocabulary book (last years word was "jaded")this is absolute pop perfection. It doesn't get any better than "A Little More Love". Huge kudos to John Farrar for writing nearly all of these great pop songs. And to top it all off you are forever easy on the eyes Olivia!.


Fall in love with Olivia all over again
As a little kid all excited at the prospect of seeing the movie Grease, little did I know that on that night a sweet singer/actress from Australia would leave me dazed and bedazzled by my first sighting of a beautiful woman; I've been looking for my own Olivia ever since then, a cute Sandra Dee type who, under the right circumstances, can magically turn into a wild, extremely hot show-stopper. Olivia Newton-John will always be one of my favorite singers. I don't think some people these days realize just how wildly popular Olivia was in the late 70s and early 80s, the era from which these tracks are taken. Physical was atop the charts just short of forever, and for that day and age the single was a delightfully suggestive little song (at least for a kid like me), if you can consider anything sung by an angel to be suggestive. The earliest recordings featured in this collection go back to 1978: from the Grease soundtrack come Hopelessly Devoted To You (one of the best love songs ever) and You're the One That I Want (a duet with John Travolta that I will certainly never forget thanks to the movie), while the scale-climbing A Little More Love is taken from Olivia's Totally Hot album. 1980's Xanadu may not be a critically successful movie, but it provides us with three great hits: the infectiously upbeat Xanadu (with ELO), Magic, and Suddenly (a really nice duet with Cliff Richard). Olivia's best-selling Physical album from 1981 provides only two tracks: the mega-hit Physical single and the rather sultry Make a Move On Me. The remaining two tracks, the memorable hit Heart Attack and Tied Up, were, if I'm not mistaken, recorded specifically for this greatest hits album.

There are better, more comprehensive greatest hits albums on the market today (ones featuring the earlier hits not included on this collection), but for a long time this was the Olivia Newton-John greatest hits album to have, featuring Olivia's best hits from the years she basically ruled over the world of female vocalists. Her voice is timeless and remains plaintively beautiful to this day. Whenever I listen to this album, I have to wonder why I haven't been listening to it every day for the last twenty years. Pure beauty never goes out of style, and no female singer has ever equaled the beauty of Olivia's voice, body, mind, and soul.
